I'm Not Crazy - 85 to 79 GFLOPS CUDA ??

When running BOINC on my system, in the message area when the manager starts, this text is listed..

CUDA DEVICE: GeForce GTX 260 (driver version 19038, compute capability 1.3, 896MB, est. 79GFLOPS)

Previously, the manager has reported "est. 85GFLOPS"

I have installed the Optimized Seti@Home software, for both the CPU and the GPU. However, the manager still reported 85GFLOPS previously, with them installed.

I can't imagine that I am starting to have hardware problems already - this rig is just over 3 months old.

System in Question :

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you been testing overclocking of the graphics card using Rivatuner or EVGA Precision or similar? Check the clock rates using GPU-Z; it looks as though they have been turned down somehow.

I have an Alienware machine, and purchased Alien Adrenaline. It allows you to overclock the video card.

I use it very rarely, and never with Seti@Home running - simply because I don't want to overheat the video card.

I don't know what happened - I have since rebooted the machine, re-run the manager, and it is now reporting 85 GFLOPS again.

Thank you for your response.
